I like my solution of not using Windows more :razz:

Relaxing.

Or another easy solution called 'using Windows XP'. It makes your computer reset itself if you get a BSOD (which happens much much less often, and will tell you why afterwards)

I was going to mention XP, but I figured you'd walk on in and mention it, looks like I was right. :razz:

This was perfect for allieviating a little stress from an episode earlier today (it involved DX, my Radeon card and UT2004 ass-raping both). I needed that. :biggrin:

I haven't seen one of those since 2002. I rather miss them...

Ive seen a pic with the BSOD appearing on a display in the c**kpit of a YF-22.HAH!

c**kpit

I have had windows 2000 for 2 years now, and have seen a BSOD three times ever. Two were when I screwed up the install of my dodgy UDMA66 controller (you have to do a wierd combination of stuff for it to install properly with windows - not windows fault). The third time was slightly more windows fault - I installed an update from windowsupdate which I thought would make my UDMA controller work better, and it caused my PC to not get into windows any more :smile: But that was the fault of my lame UDMA controller again.

Oh shut up :wink:

i took crono's advice, i reformatted, installed my XP pro, and everything seems hunky dory.. i figure my router firewall will keep the gropers out, and it has been up for 4 days now..

no worries :biggrin:

Playing that 'game' actually broke my mouse......thanks alot.....

The only time my XP has given me a BSOD was when the Hard Drive was actually dying, so it literally was a BSOD. The Kernel 'popped' and my drive died the next day, had some troubles initializing and such. Other than that, XP has been spotless.

You SHOULD :biggrin: thank me. It makes you get rid of that s**tty mouse so you can buy a new one and play the game again

I have never seen a bsod ever, on win98 or winxp.

Not on win98!! wow!

interprets word wow! as-

*makes sneezing sound that sounds vaguely like the word bulls**t*

At one point in time, when I had Win98 on a computer. It would literally seg fault (blue screen) when moving the mouse ... man what a piece of crap.

Orph, ...kay, I'm actually getting sick of XP myself. it's not that things don't work its becoming tedious, since XP doesn't manage it's memory usage well enough (meaning it leaves things running when they should shut down: Winamp and Windows Media Player included)

The threat of re-installing everything is the only thing stopping me lol. But I'm glad its working well for you. The one thing I've give XP is that, compared to other versions of Desktop Windows, it can continue to run without much trouble. (But I'm sick of things randomly dying, and obviously it isn't random because it happens for a reason, but it's starting to happen more frequenty).

some problems can be hardware related, too.

I've got a version of Windows 98 SE on my ghetto little box, and it's never crashed on me. Win 95 would do it all the time on my older PC though. Gah, I hated that thing.

Obviously, but you're saying it as if I would remember, man. It was a LONG time ago. (Also I knew people with the same version installed having simular problems, but it doesn't matter now)

There's a simple little registry entry you can make Crono to make it unload .dlls and other memory residences as soon as their finished. You can also get it by using the latest TweakUI.

Hmm, I wasn't aware of that taking I've never really messed with registry options, but it doesn't surprise me or anything. However, I shouldn't have to create special enteries into the registry just to have a program shut down properly. Thanks though.
